Depending on the size of your photo and the degree of damage we will send you an estimate. Just upload your photo or photos to our DropBox and we will take a look. Your photos are safe with us. We are the only ones who can edit the photos and we will never share them. We do not accept any type of pornographic or nude photos or anything offensive.
We love to hear about how much you enjoy your restored photos and if possible we'd like to post your comments here on the site so once the job is done let us know what you think, please. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us. |
Scanning Tips
- I know the cheap ones are tempting, but plan to spend more than $100 on a new scanner. You truly do get what you pay for.
- If you have a lot of 35mm film or slides to scan don’t expect great results from a flatbed scanner. An actual film scanner will do a considerably better job, as this is what it is for.
- Remember, no amount of retouching can make up for a poor scan. Most scanning software will allow you to choose the type of image to be scanned whether it is a photo, slide, document, etc. Correctly setting this option will insure the best scan possible from your scanner.
- Scan your photo at an appropriate resolution. (DPI is dots per inch)
- 300 DPI (if you plan on printing your restored photo as the same size as the original, or if you plan to resize it to 72ppi for web use later).
- 600 DPI (if you plan to restore or enlarge your photo).
- 300 DPI (if you plan on printing your restored photo as the same size as the original, or if you plan to resize it to 72ppi for web use later).
- Turn off all automatic filters.
- Crop your preview scan so as not to include any of the background.
- Always scan black and white photos as 24bit RGB Color (not grayscale). This is because 24bit files have 3 times the color depth of an 8 bit grayscale file, so they capture much more of the subtle tones (If your photo is badly faded you might want to scan at 48bit).
- Please, keep in mind not to use photos printed on textured or embossed paper. They aren’t usually suitable for scanning. Try photographing them with a digital camera instead.
- Always save your scans in a lossless format such as TIFF. Only ever use JPEG as a final format to save your photo in. Never do anything to the original scans except for naming them. Save them exactly the way they were scanned, without any changes.
- View your scanned images at 100% when looking at them on your computer to make sure your photo scanned correctly.
- If you have any more questions contact us, we'd be happy to help!
